The hexagonal tungsten bronze $Cs_xWO_3$ nanoparticle was synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method of ammonium tungstate and $Cs_2CO_3$ in acidic condition. This synthetic method for cesium tungsten bronze is reported for the first time as far as we know. The synthesized $Cs_xWO_3$ as precipitated showed a weak crystallinity of hexagonal unit cell with a crystallite size of about 4 nm without annealing. When the synthesized $Cs_xWO_3$ was annealed in $N_2$ atmosphere, the crystallinity and crystallite size systematically increased maintaining the typical hexagonal tungsten bronze structure as the annealing temperature increased. The analyzed Cs content in the bronze was about 0.3 vs W, which is very close to the theoretical maximum value, 1/3 in cesium tungsten bronze. According to XPS analysis, the reduced tungsten ions existed as both the forms of $W^{5+}$ and $W^{4+}$ and the contents systematically increased as the annealing temperature increased up to $800^{\circ}C$. The $Cs_xWO_3$ thin films on PET substrate were also prepared by a wet-coating method using the ball-milled solution of the annealed $Cs_xWO_3$ nanoparticles at various temperatures. The near-infrared shielding property of these thin films increased systematically as the annealing temperature increased up to $800^{\circ}C$ as expected with the increased contents of reduced tungsten ions.

The tungsten bronze type of strontium barium niobate(SBN) thin film was synthesized by metal organic decomposion method for SBN stock solution and the SBN thin film process were deposited by spin-coating process on Pt-deposited si-wafer(100) by magnetron sputtering system. The thickness of SBN thin film was 150$\sim$200 nm and were optimized for rpm of spin-coater system. The structural variation of SBN thin film was studied by TG-DTA and XRD.

Reduced tungsten bronze nanoparticles of ternary and quaternary compounds were prepared by adding sodium and cesium to crystal structures of tungsten trioxides ($Na_xCs_{0.33-x}WO_3$, x = 0, 0.11) while maintaining the overall alkali metal fraction at 0.33, in an attempt to control near infrared (NIR) shielding property in the particular wavelength range of 780 to 1200 nm. The structure and composition analysis of the quaternary compound, $Na_{0.11}Cs_{0.22}WO_3$, revealed that 93.1% of the hexagonal phase was formed, suggesting that both alkali metals were mainly inserted in hexagonal channel. The NIR shielding property for $Na_{0.11}Cs_{0.22}WO_3$ was remarkable, as this material demonstrated efficient transmittance of visible light up to 780 nm and enhancement in NIR shielding because of the blue-shifted absorption maximum in comparison to $Cs_{0.33}WO_3$.

Tungsten bronze structure $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xNb_2O_6$ (SBN) single crystals were grown primarily using the Czochralski method, in which several difficulties were encountered: striation formation and diameter control. Striation formation occurred mainly because of crystal rotation in an asymmetric thermal field and unsteady melt convection driven by thermal buoyancy forces. To optimize the growth conditions, bulk SBN crystals were grown in a furnace with resistance heating elements. The zone of $O_2$ atmosphere for crystal growth is 9.0 cm and the difference of temperature between the melt and the top is $70^{\circ}C$. According to the growth conditions of the rotation rate, grown SBN became either polycrystalline or composed of single crystals. In the case of as-grown $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xNb_2O_6$ (x = 0.4; 60SBN) single crystals, the color of the crystals was transparent yellowish and the growth axis was the c-axis. The facets of the crystals were of various shapes. The length and diameter of the single crystals was 50~70 mm and 5~10 mm, respectively. Tungsten bronze SBN growth is affected by the temperature profile and the atmosphere of the growing zone. The thermal expansion coefficients on heating and on cooling of the grown SBN single crystals were not matched. These coefficients were thought to influence the phase transition phenomena of SBN.

텅스텐브론즈 구조를 가지는 Sr$_{x}Ba_{1-x}Nb_{2}O_{6}$(SBN) (0.3$\le$x$\ge$0.7) 세라믹스를 고상반응법으로 합성하고 Sr/Ba의 비에 따른 유전특성을 조사하였다. SBN 세라믹스는 Sr/Ba의 비가 증가함에 따라 상전이 온도는 낮아지고 상전이 온도에서의 최대 유전율은 증가하였다. 또한 SBN 세라믹스는 Sr 함량에 따른 relaxor 거동을 정량화하여 평가하였는데, Sr/Ba의 비가 증가할수록 유전율은 더욱 완만해지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 실험 결과를 텅스텐브론지 구조를 가진 SBN 세라믹스의 결정구조 관점에서 해석하였다.

Crystal structure of $Ba_5-5X$Y$_10/3$Nb$_10$O$_30$ was tried to determine by Rietveld analysis using powder X-ray diffraction data. This compound has tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure with general formula, (Al)$_2$(A2)$_4$(B1)$_2$(B2)$_8$(O1)$_8$(O2)$_8$(O3)$_4$(O4)$_2$(O5)$_4$(O6)$_4$. However, it was difficult to determine the distribution of Ba and Y in Al and A2 sites by the analysis only. Combination of Rietveld analysis and site potentials calculation as well as lattice energy calculations helped to determine the distribution. As the result, it was clarified that $Ba^2+$ cations occupy A2 (pentagonal tunnel site) and $Y^3+$ cations occupy Al (cubic site). The distribution of cations at each site coincides with the distribution estimated by the difference of ionic radii. This supports the formation condition of TTB which was proposed in our previous report. $Ba_5-5X$Y$_10X/3$Nb$_10$O$_30$ shows ferroelectric characteristics. In this compound, remanent polarization decreases slightly with the composition X. On the other hand, the result of crystal structure determination reveals that atomic positions along c-axis for A1, A2, B1 and B2 cations are also decreased with the composition X. This would suggest that the dependence of remanent polarization on composition X is derived by the dependence of atomic coordinates on composition X.

The gas sensor is essential to monitoring dangerous gases in our environment. Metal oxide (MO) gas sensors are primarily utilized for flammable, toxic and organic gases and $O_3$ because of their high sensitivity, high response and high stability. Tungsten oxides ($WO_3$) have versatile applications, particularly for gas sensor applications because of the wide bandgap and stability of $WO_3$. Nanosize $WO_3$ are synthesized using the hydrothermal method. As-prepared $WO_3$ nanopowders are in the form of nanorods and nanorulers. The crystal structure is hexagonal tungsten bronze ($MxWO_3$, x =< 0.33), characterized as a tunnel structure that accommodates alkali ions and the phase stabilizer. A gas detection test reveals that $WO_3$ can detect acetone, butanol, ethanol, and gasoline. This is the first study to report this capability of $WO_3$.
